Although program management components provide many services, they are used primarily to convert object modules into executable programs, store them in program libraries, and load them into virtual storage for execution.

You can use the program management binder and program management loader to perform these tasks. These components can also be used in conjunction with the linkage editor. A load module produced by the linkage editor can be accepted as input by the binder or can be loaded into storage for execution by the program management binder. The linkage editor can also process load modules produced by the binder.
